The West African Examinations Council has announced the full implementation of its digital certificate services system, WAEC DigiCert, across its five member countries.
The announcement is contained in a statement by the head of public affairs, WAEC Headquarters, Accra, Ghana, Demianus Ojijeogu, on behalf of the registrar.
The member countries are Gambia, Ghana, Liberia, Nigeria and Sierra Leone.
According to Mr Ojijeogu, the digital certificate services platform is a mobile and web-based application designed to provide stakeholders with seamless access to digital versions of original certificates.
” The WAEC digital certificate services system offers candidates the opportunity to access, request, confirm and securely share digital copies of their certificates with institutions worldwide,” Mr Ojijeogu explained.
He added that users could also recover lost WAEC examination numbers through the system while enjoying guaranteed authenticity and significant cost benefits.
” The system is reliable and secure, and its authenticity is guaranteed while reducing administrative bottlenecks associated with manual certificate issuance and collection processes,” Mr Ojijeogu said.
Mr Ojijeogu also assured that the innovation would not disrupt the printing and issuance of physical certificates, urging the public to download the mobile application or visit its official website and social media platforms for further information.
